RNA-binding protein, molecular model
RNA-binding protein. Computer model of the RNA-binding protein ACF (APOBEC-1 complementation factor). It is thought that ACF functions as an RNA-binding subunit that docks APOBEC-1 with an RNA (ribonucleic acid) strand. APOBEC enzymes catalyse the breakdown (deamination) of the amino acid cytidine in nucleic acids (DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA), changing it to uridine. Different APOBEC members use this process to achieve diverse human biological functions, such as inhibiting the replication of HIV. Studies suggest that ACF may also be involved in other RNA-editing or RNA-processing events

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed molecular model of an RNA-binding protein, specifically the ACF (APOBEC-1 complementation factor). The intricate computer-generated illustration highlights the crucial role of ACF as an RNA-binding subunit that interacts with an RNA strand. Through this interaction, APOBEC-1, another important enzyme, is able to catalyze the breakdown or deamination of cytidine amino acid in nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. This process results in its conversion to uridine. The significance of APOBEC enzymes lies in their ability to perform diverse biological functions within humans. For instance, they play a vital role in inhibiting HIV replication by utilizing this deamination process. Moreover, recent studies suggest that ACF may also be involved in various other events related to RNA-editing and RNA-processing. This visually stunning artwork not only represents the complex nature of biochemistry but also emphasizes the importance of understanding these molecular interactions at a microscopic level. By combining artistry with scientific accuracy, Science Photo Library has beautifully captured the essence of this essential protein's structure and function. Through such illustrations and models, scientists gain valuable insights into genetic compounds and proteins' behavior and how they combine to carry out critical biological processes. This image serves as a reminder that even on a microscopic scale, there is immense beauty hidden within our cellular world waiting to be explored further through proteomics research and advancements in genetics.
